Ibuprofen use
Can using an excessive amount of ibuprofen over 30 days cause liver problems like hepatitis? I took Ibuprofen for a month (6-8 tabs a day). A few weeks after taking them I had fatigue, nausea, joint pain. It went away in about three weeks. I was also taking Levequin at the same time. Could this have been from the medication?
i think some things like tylenol or acetominophen are considered to be over dosed
at 2000 mg per day. you might have been borderline overdosed and caused
liver irritation and inflamation. i think ibuprofen is similar in effect. dont bet the farm on this info, but there is some consensus on this issue.

The term "hepatitis" refers to the inflammation of the liver. There are may types of hepatitis, including viral and non viral. Hep C is a viral hepatitis.
Taking a large amount of medications that are filtered through the liver can indeed cause inflammation of the liver, so in essence they can cause a non viral form of hepatitis. If you are fearful that you have contracted Hepatitis C, you cannot contract from medication. Hepatitis C is a blood-to-blood disease.
